Ecclesiastes 12:5

Back to Verses

Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:

Also when people are scared of tall things and have many fears, and the almond tree blooms, and grasshoppers become a problem, and desires disappear: this happens because people are going to their eternal resting place, and those who mourn walk around the city.
